The lathe is a 1/12 scale replica of a “Charles A. Strelinger Company” 16-inch lathe. Measuring 6-1/2” in length and 4-1/2” in height with a 1” dia. chuck.
The mini lathe parts are available from PM Research Inc, USA

Kit comes complete with 19 easy machining aluminum castings, all required hardware, material, bar stock, gear stock and complete working drawings. Machining and assembly required.
Joe Pieczynski on Youtube has been posting videos of how he has is making the lathe.
It's actually a F. E. Reed & Co lathe taken from an engraving in the Strelinger catalogue but much simplified. You can get a reprint of the catalogue from PMR if you want to add the missing detail and the rest is a good read too.
And if it measures what Joe says then it's an 18" or the scale is wrong.
